Ozz Glaze DD-120 Southern Breeze - Artistic Low-Fire Glaze (R26066)

OZZ GLAZE DD-120 Southern Breeze - Artistic Low-Fire Glaze

OZZ GLAZE DD-120 Southern Breeze is an artistic low-fire glaze that creates reactive transitions in soft green, sand beige and warm natural tones. Its fluid character allows it to pool in recessed, curved and textured areas of the form, increasing the color intensity. After firing, it produces a natural surface with speckles and mottling that vary depending on application thickness and the clay body used.

Application Notes

• Mixing: Mix the product regularly before and during application to ensure an even distribution of the coloring and speckle-forming components.
• Coat application: For brush application, apply 2-3 even coats to the bisque-fired surface, allowing sufficient drying time between coats.
• Thickness effect: Thinner areas may display lighter green and beige tones, while color intensity and reactive mottling may increase in thicker areas.
• Speckle effect: The density and distribution of the surface speckles may vary depending on application thickness, clay body and firing schedule.
• Reactive character: The intensity of the color transitions and natural surface effect may vary depending on peak temperature, kiln atmosphere and cooling schedule.
• Flow control: Consider the glaze’s downward movement on vertical forms and apply it more thinly around the lower sections and base of the piece.
• Kiln shelf protection: Fire the piece on a catch plate or suitable kiln shelf separator to protect against possible glaze runs.
• Dilution: For spray and dipping applications, add water in small increments, mix the product after each addition and avoid over-dilution.
• Form effect: The glaze may pool in recessed, curved and textured areas, creating deeper green and beige tones, while edges and raised areas may display lighter transitions.
• Clay body selection: The color and surface texture of different low-fire clay bodies may affect the appearance of the green-beige tones and speckled effects.
• Surface preparation: Remove all dust and residue from the bisque-fired surface before application.
• Glaze combinations: Before combining with other glazes, test chemical compatibility, color transitions and the amount of flow on a test tile.
• Safety: Use appropriate personal protective equipment during application and ensure that the workspace is adequately ventilated.
• Storage: Keep the container tightly closed and store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
